New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been fined $50,000 for "impermissible physical contact with an official" at the end of the Patriots' loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL announced Wednesday.

Belichick grabbed Esteban Garza's arm while exiting the field.

"I have never meant any disrespect or in any way tried to abuse or be disrespectful to the officials and the job that they do," Belichick said after the incident.

No suspension necessary, a fine is the right way to handle this._________________NFL: Dallas Cowboys
